Question

If you put up an NSAlert while your app is in the background your dock icon starts bouncing and keeps on bouncing until you switch back.

I find this annoying.

Does anyone know how disable that for a single app?

Create your own subclass of NSApplication, and implement something like this:

- (int)requestUserAttention:(NSRequestUserAttentionType)requestType     {         if (dontDoThatBouncyThing) {             return 0;         }         return [super requestUserAttention:requestType];     } 

Don’t forget to change ‘NSPrincipalClass’ in your Info.plist from NSApplication to your own NSApplication subclass.
